When was your first experience with Everquest?

[Eschaton]

I started in February 1999 as well. I remember being so excited getting the beta disk in the mail. Good times [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I bought the game at future shop in september of 1999, rolled a dwarf cleric and went nuts on Prexus. My friend had suggested the game after finding out I had played meridian 59. I was also a big fan of MUDs and we had both played those.

Eventually ended up in a guild called Unity, but had many friends in Keepers of the Faith as well. Best early memories:

a full suit of banded armor at level 9, looting dawnfire after kunark came out, and hitting 51 with 2 different characters when kunark was released nearly instantly.


Also I remember how satisfying it was to destroy the planes after we suffered so hard raiding them with the level 50 cap. Good times
